Hello, Monday! Chelsea here.
This weekend I caught myself daydreaming. Around this time of year, my husband and I typically plan a small getaway to the nearest and cheapest beach we can find. In my effort to be reminded of how great vacations are, I came across a trend that I had to share with you. Virtual vacations may not have all the excitement of actually getting to visit your destination, but they can be a great way to experience your favorite spots from home. We rounded up the most stereotypical Ohio vacations in one place and found loads of interesting ways to explore them.

I'm a big fan of how much positive attention Ohio has been getting in regards to our response to all things coronavirus. I loved the imagery used in this video from the Ohio Department of Health. It's taking off and helping people around the world understand why social distancing is crucial.

The best thing about spending so much time at home is that I've been able to catch up on some much-needed reading. It's my number one favorite hobby and I'm so grateful to live in a city that has incredible local book stores. Although visiting these shops isn't an option right now, you can definitely support them by ordering online. Also, tell me what you're reading so I can add it to my list.
Talking Points ❤️
A Challenging Environment 📰
You'll be hearing a lot about what a tremendously challenging thing all of this is going to be for the news industry (true) but it looks like the Cleveland Plain-Dealer's ownership group is mostly using the circumstances to do some union-busting. The Plain-Dealer is now down to just four union journalists, only one of whom covers the news. The newspaper will now mostly be put together by non-union Cleveland.com reporters following severe cuts and layoffs.

Horrifying 💉
This is a hard read, but it feels important with the amount of backlash I've started seeing online about stay-at-home orders. I understand it - I'm feeling the stress of quarantine myself (and I like being at home!) and I think this weekend was particularly difficult with it being a time when families often gather, but it feels worth it if it means preventing stories like the one below.

The Heart Of Columbus ❤️
I loved, loved, loved this gallery of Ohio State campus-area photos. Wonderfully presented, with great captions. It's definitely worth paging through.
